Prerequisites
Operating systems I
Skills to be acquired in this module
This module deals with the fundamentals of distributed operating systems. It gives an understanding of the terminology, structures, functions, conceptions, key problems and implementation concepts of distributed operating systems. Professional competence
The students:
evaluate the performance and functionality of distributed operating systems
are aware of the realisation problems of distributed operating systems
know and evaluate standard methods of solving problems in the context of distributed operating systems
use standard methods to solve problems in the context of distributed operating systems
Methodological competence
The students:
use standard methods of the distributed operating system domain to solve problems in other contexts
analyse and rank different solutions in the problem domain wrt. relevant properties
Social competence
The students:
solve problems in small teams
present their solutions to the members of the tutorial
duscuss their sdifferent solutions with members of the tutorial
Self competence
The students:
accept critcism
question their initial solutions in the light of newly learned methods
